I don't think that has been the case for at least a full console generation, maybe more.
Look at the rise and fall of pre-order goodies to get a rough estimate of when publishers really, really wanted you to buy the game day 1 (and when it stopped mattering as much)
60fps complaints go back to the dark days of 360/ps3 ports where HD resolutions on the consoles meant high framerate was no longer a viable option there. Since AAA games started using console as lead platform pc became saddled with 30fps caps as well. It possibly happened even earlier, but that was the time where I started noticing it.
Still waiting for the "to be announced" steam release date. I've tried getting into it on mobile twice, but it's not really the type of game I'm looking for on that platform.
I assume kotakuinaction is still around somehow as well.

Keep in mind that this list contains both full games and engines for closed source games.
the nft implementation in breakpoint was so bad that it seemed like it was missing the point on purpose. It was just different serial numbers printed on a helmet and the rarer the helmet the more play time you had to have on your account to actually wear it. So the nfts were barely unique, didn’t look cool and you couldn’t just buy whatever to show it off. Respect to the devs that managed to pull this off when execs asked for nfts.
It’s wild how many people who do not have mods published on nexus/workshop/bethesda are happy to speak on the behalf of modders.
